ELE0TRI0 LIGHT.

The decision of the Supreme Court in the cause of the city of Crawfordsvillo vs. H. S. Pradon, by which the city will be enabled to furnish private consumers with electric lighting is

satisfactory

very

to the citizens. Large numbers will adopt this light for stores and dwellings provided it can be furnished them at rates similar togas lighting. Any movement looking to the breaking down of a monoply of any kind is always popular with the majority of citizens. Monopolies are generally heartless, exhorbitant in charges, and unrelentness. The company owning the plant here has been defeated at every point and unless for the purpose of throwing away money in a hopeless tight with the city will do well to pull up and move out. The public sustains the city's plant because it in cheaper, and furnishes thus far satisfactory service in the way of illumination. Now the thing to be watched hereafter is to see that no corruption, bargain and sale business, or unfair treatment of customers is allowed by those having the electric light plant in charge. Such things may occur, and a mine of corruption could be created by it. It is to bo hoped it will not, but vigilance should at all times to be exercised.. t'ood business management will make the plant a source of steady revenue to the city and enable it to bo paid for in a few years: poor management will make it a constant bill of expense.

THE WILL BROKEN.,"'"

There were few better lawyeVs in the United States than the late Samuel Tilden. What opinion he expressed on any logal matter was generally considered correct as any body or court could have it. lie left property amounting to $8,000,000 and made a will showing great legal acumen in it, and it was thought could not l'e broken. Some of his relatives did not like the various bequests in it, and went to law to break the will. After a contest lasting about ten years the will has been broken.

The opinion reversing the amount below is written by Judge lirown and is concurred in by Chief Judge Follott, and Judges Haight and Parker. Judge Bradley whites a dissenting opinion, which is concurred in by Judges Potter and Venn. Samuel J. Tilden. jr.. was present when the decision was handed down, and was warmly congratulated by many present on the outcome of his tight. Under the statute of distribution that regulates the disposition of the property, Mrs. Pel ton and '•Henry A. Tilden, sister and brother of (Sow Tilden come in for equal shares of the $8,000.000. Mrs. Win. I!. Hazard is the only heir on Pelton's side, and thus is entitled to s? 1,000,000. The other $4,000,000 is subject to the claims of the six children of Henrv A. Tilden.

OPEN ON SUNDAY. unite probable that

It seems quite probable that the World's Fair at Chicago will,during the six months of its continuance, be opened 1. visitors on Sunday, in spite of the clamors or a few superlatively pious people against it being done. The days of Puritan ideas and customs in this country opposed to a superior intelligence are fast passing away. Where anything immoral, sinful or anything contrary to advanced Christian ideas, can arise from permitting people to look at the products of the world on Sunday, it will be a difficult ipatfer for many people to understand. Some of these pious people seem to think it a great sin that the fair should be opened on Sunday, that it is a transgression of (Soil's law. that destruction and damnation should be visited on the managers for doing so. Church people, however, do not all hold to'this fanatical notion, as witness the I following resolution as passed at the

Stale Unitarian Conference in session at .Monmouth. III., last week: "That the gates of the World's Fair Exposition in Chicago be opened to the

public on Sunday at reduced rates of I admission: that the machinery be silent: that the buildings of art. etc.. be opened 1 for the benefit of all. wane-workers in pari ieular."

(i neighbor, the Journal signally failed the other day in calling out the militia, sons or vetrans. etc., to repress! the "Copperheads." "sons of liberty" and other disloyal Tellows of (Mark township whom it alleges were seeking to tear down a Hag at a school house down there. Its heroine, the teacher, alsoj failed to shoot some body and all signs ff war are over for the present. It was a miserable attempt to create a little political feeling over nothing. The Journal should, if possible, aimed to have suppressed this thrilling intelligence until about a year hence when it might have made SOUK* political capital out of it as it is it will do no good whatever uicept to exhibit its own silliness.

THE BANKERS WIN.

Superior Judge Taylor has decided that the law creating the Stato Board of Commissioners does not requires bankers to exhil to those officials books and papert shov ing a list of their depositors.

Last w. ek's Indianapolis Sontinel commentim on the decision said: "Judge Taylor's decision, handed down yesterday, in what has come to be known as 'the bank case,' is about what was anticipated by most persons who had followed tho controversy. If it is affirmed by tho Supreme Court the Legislature will have to find some other way of reaching moneys which aro now concealed from the assessors than that of compelling tho bankers to reveal the secrets of their customers. If the controversy has had no other substantial result it has stimulated public interest in the great questions of taxation. Probably the next legislature will be asked to consider whether it is worth while, after all, to try to collect taxes on money and, if an affirmative decision is reached, whether it would not bo well to tax banks on their deposits. Indiana has taken along step forward in the matter of tax reform, but a good many tax problems remain to besolvod."

"NATURAL-J"ASR

The Consumers' Trust Natural Oas Company of Indianapolis is annoyed by vexatious litigation, growing out of its inability to supply patrons and its attempt to advance rates.

Last week it filed answer in a case where a customer is suing for a supply of gas, in which the plea is made that it already has 10.170 patrons, who are using all the gas which can be supplied that repeated efforts to float its bonds and secure money with which to enlarge its plant have failed, and that it has no money with which to meet further demands. ..

The answer also savs that notwithstanding the preseut low rate of temperature the supply is hardly adequate to tho demands of consumers, and that it cannot make new connections without the risk of injuring them. The admissions are startling to natural gas consumers, the more so as notice is given that the supply of factories has been cut off.

A WESTERN MAN DEMANDED. Senator Blackburn, of Kentucky, sensibly concludes that the democracy of the United States have had enough candidates for President from New York and the time to change the routine of business in that line is at the next national convention. He says:

But I hope the day will come, if it has not already come, when the democratic party will not be dependent upon New York for its standard-bearer. There has been no Democratic candidate for the presidency since Buchanan's time who has not come from New York. McClellan was said to be from New Jfost}*, but everybody knows he was a New York man. Hancock was accredited to Pennsylvania, hut I doubt if he lnul lived in that slate for twenty years. The Republican party, on the contrary lias always taken its president from the west, around Ohio, Illinois and Indiana and we can learn a lessons from them. If Campbell wins his tight in Ohio this year it will certainly put him in the foremost list of available men.

Tili. wool growers not being satisfied with the results of the

McKinley

law

will ask congress to give them a bounty of so much per pound. They will ask 11 be treated as the sugar producers are treated. Their claim-to a bounty is as just as 1 lie claims of the sugar producers. This is what the tax system will come to in the end. .Everybody that produces anything will get a bounty. It is just as fair that the wheat grower should have a bounty as the iron manufacturer. After the government gives every industry a bounty where is the money to come from with which to pav the bounties, The sugar growers will get about ?17.000,000 this vear.

OICASIO.NAI. discussions about removing the county seat of Fountain county from Covington to Ve,.-dersburg are indulged in. It will amount to nothing and those favoring it can rest easy that it. at least, will never take place in their life time. To secure the consent of twothirds of (he tax payers, or oven a majority, to the scheme would be a difficult and almost hopeless task. To undertake the removal of a county seat after its location for a long number of years at any point to a new location is an exceedingly difficult task, and is rarely successful.

'I'm-: Midland railway has been luxuriating in its monthly strike again, a number of the hands having tied up the road again on account or several months pay due them. It would lie much better for that corporation and the country through which the road passes iT it could bo taken from them and placed in proper hands. As it is. so long as the Crawl'ords control it there would always appear to be trouble in store for llieni. Railroads cannot be built and run on wind, and and this seems about all the Crawfords, the o\\ ners. have.

A l\k number of coal miners at l.riceville. Tennessee, incensed at the I law of that state, which allows convicts I of 1 lie penitentiary tolaborin the mines, .surrounded the stockade one night last week, broke it down and liberated .'100 inmates of the penitentiary. 15y this act they become criminals and only need prosecution to be made to take the places of those they have set free.

POLITICAL WORK.

The amount of onorgy displayed and physical enduranco shown by many politicians and public speakers during a political campaign is marvelous. Gov. Campbell last week in Ohio in one day spoko in seven different localities, embracing a distanco to bo traveled of 150 miles, his speeches being from thirty minutes to one hour in length. Thero were a few other speakers that did almost as much work, although this record of Campbell's is rarely surpassed. Talk that tho work of a politician is light and easv is foolish: few men work more.

THE extreme of fanaticism was reached in Pennsylvania a few days by a tempor ance organization which bounced a preacher for drinking a glass of fresh apple juico from a cider press.^That organization is too good Jand too pure for this earth and should at onco put on its robes and ascend to some other climo. It shows to what ridiculousjJextremcB the average prohibitionist will go, and tho reason of tho slow growth Jof that party is seen from just such actions as this.

A NLMUKR of branches of tho^Alliance organization in the soutliorn states, it was stated in the daily papers of last week, had surrendered their charters and disbanded. The cause, it was stated, was the impracticability of the enforcement of their doctrines and the ^corrupt scheming of many of their members. It does look like the assertion of Wade Hampton that the Alliance would soon go to pieces were gradually being proven.

THF. friends of Lavelle, the late county Auditor of Daviess county, indicted for firing the court house of that county, are claming now that he was insane. This lino of defense is entirely too common to protect scoundrels from receiving their just deserts. Many a man deserving punishment has escaped through it. If insane they should generally bo placed in tho penitentiary where they can do no more harm.

A SLIGHT breeze was raised last week over the prospect of a war between the United States and Chili over the murder of some seamen belonging to a government ship, in the streets of Valparaizo, in that country. The U. S. has demanded satisfaction for this, but the Chilian government is not disposed to shoulder the responsibility for the outrage. ft will amount to but little and the last of it will soon be heard.

Tin- new Australian system of balloting is always spoken of by republican schemers and t-poilsiuen as the "hog shoot," from the manner in which a voter is compelled to approach the polls to cast his ballot. It will never be popular with them. It has shot away their most cherished schemes for swindling at the polls. If the present plan is a "shoot the other was the stock yard, and decent people prefer the new to the old.

.Tcm.i.Nc from tin* heroic tight made by the Journal against the "copperheads, butternuts and sons of liberty" of Clark township, the public will not doubt its loyalty to the Hag and be sat istied that it is in favor of a vigorous prosecution of the next war.

Is the sad story of many lives made miserable through no fault of their own. Scrofula is more especially than any other a hereditary disease, and for"this I simple reason: Arising from impure and insufficient blood, the disease loeates itself in Ihe lymphatics, which aro composed of white issues: there "J is a peri id of foetal life when the whole body consists or white tissues, and therefore the unborn child is especially susceptible to this dreadful disease.

Ilul there is a remedy for scrofula, whether herditary or acquired. It is Hood's Sarsaparilla. which bv its powerful effect on the blood, expels all trace of the disease and gives to the vital fluid the ijualitv and color of health. you decide to lake Hood's Sarsaparilla do not. accept a substitue.
